Re: Dealing with vandalism

[edit]

Re your message: Reverting the vandalism and then leaving a warning on the user's talk page is the usual procedure. Most of it covered in Wikipedia:Vandalism. The various warnings you can issue are at Template:TestTemplates. A short answer to what to do is that you revert the vandalism, issue an appropriate warning at an appropriate level (see the warning templates), and if necessary, report the editor to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.

Actually, I didn't notice the vandalism itself, but noticed the note you left on their user page and went to look at what you were referring to. Leaving comments on user pages isn't the normal procedure, so I put a normal {{subst:test1}} on that user's talk page.

I also requested that an admin delete Cbow's user page to remove the comment you left. He had an empty user page and if you or I just removed the comment, he would still have a blank user page. Some people prefer an empty one, which is why I asked for the deletion.

As for your other question about me blocking the user, no I can't do that. I'm not an admin. Only admins can block users. You can, however, report users that need blocking through the aforementioned Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism after the editor has been issued all the appropriate warnings and continues to vandalize anyways.

On a completely different note, I'd like to welcome you to Wikipedia. =) -- Gogo Dodo 21:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles - do you know of published references for those two occasions? Would be good to add thee info to the article, but really need to quote the what and when of them. I can't see anything in the index of Joan's Book. MichaelW 10:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Editing other comments on talk pages

[edit]

Just a note that I've reverted your spelling corrections on Talk:Neil Armstrong. It is usually not a good idea to edit other comments on talk pages, even for minor things like spelling. It tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Evil Monkey - Hello 03:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
